Incident Report Template

What is an Incident Report?

An incident report is something that everyone hopes they never have to fill in, and is used only in case of a major event (and not the pleasant kind). It is used for recording and documenting incidents, such as: hacking, accidents, injuries of any kind or any other unforeseen event. The Incident Report Template should be filled in as close to the incident itself, since human memory fades but documented ones don’t.

Incident Report Benefits

The main benefits of completing a report are –

  • Documenting the details in a similar structured way, in a way which allows the incident to be described by many different point of views
  • Recording the damages to property or injuries
  • Helps in understanding the circumstances which lead to the incident, and (more importantly) assist in taking preventive measures in the future
  • Drives security and safety measures
